摘要
Al0.3Ga0.7As/In1-xGaxP structures were prepared by low-pressure MOVPE. Lattice matched and strained ones with top In1-xGaxP layers as well as reverse ones with top Al0.3Ga0.7As layers were examined. The structures were studied by photoluminescence, X-ray and atomic force microscope (AFM) methods. An additional photoluminescence peak from the Al0.3Ga0.7As/In1-xGaxP interface was observed in our samples and it was attributed to a type-II band offset. A conduction band offset of 0.121 eV was measured in the Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.485Ga0.515P lattice-matched structure and a linear dependence of the conduction band offset on In1-xGaxP composition, with a zero offset in the Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.315Ga0.685P structure, was determined. The valence band discontinuity had a nearly constant value of 0.152 eV. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
